Wounda is one of 100 chimpanzees recently transferred to JGI’s Tchimpounga sanctuary islands. Wounda was brought in to Tchimpounga on the verge of death after being taken like, thousands of others, for the illegal pet trade. In fact, “close to death” is exactly what her name means. Today, Wounda is full of life and lives happily as Alpha female on Tchindzoulou with her baby named Hope!

Program Information
The Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of the Congo has been operating for over 25 years as a safe haven for rescued chimpanzees. Tchimpounga puts the needs of rescued chimpanzees first, providing a second chance through first in class care for nearly 150 chimpanzees. The work of Tchimpounga is possible through the support of our Chimpanzee Guardians.
For a one-time donation gift of just $35.00, anyone can become a Chimp Guardian. As a Chimp Guardian, you will receive a special Chimp Guardian certificate with a color photo of and fun details about your new friend.
Sponsoring a Chimp Guardian for someone else also makes a perfect gift, so make an even greater impact this holiday season by sharing the love with others.
